An effectively condensed history of the Yankees
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Given the high level of their success and the number of great players that have worn the Yankee pinstripes, no book of 48 pages can possibly capture it all. However, it is possible to capture the sense and Fischer has done that. He describes the team, many of the great players and their accomplishments and manages to interject some important facts. Such as Lou Gehrig's illness, Joe DiMaggio's military service in World War II, Mickey Mantle's injuries and Thurman Munson's death in a plane crash. This book is an excellent one to encourage children to read about baseball in general and the Yankees in particular. It will challenge them in a way they will find enjoyable.
Great Book

I liked that this book gave a lot of information about their best players, like records they broke. I also liked how they talked about the Yankees' best years.
